Joelseff Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) We need Cali PAs to contact your assemblymemebers and support SB697 to make sure it makes it out of assembly. It's easy just click the link and fill out your info took me all of 20 seconds! https://1www.capanet.org/call-to-action/#/ It may have passed assembly already but I got the call to action in my LinkedIn so I did it. Doesn't hurt to fill it out and send it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Edited May 8, 2020 by Joelseff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelseff Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 SB697 is going to Gov Newsom's desk. Please check your email for the call to action from CAPA to send the governor an email about signing this into law. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelseff Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Just got this in email today:SB 697 (Caballero) is on the Governor’s desk – along with hundreds of other bills. The deadline for the Governor to sign or veto bills is October 13, 2019. We hope you already responded to our Call to Action requesting that you send an email to the Governor asking him to sign this important piece of legislation. Please check your inbox (and junk folder) for the Call to Action and send the requested email now, if you haven’t already. If SB 697 becomes law, your scope will be derived from your competencies and capabilities – not delegated to you by a physician. You will be held like other healthcare professionals to the standard of care requirement. You and the practice know your education, training, experience and what professional services you are competent and capable to provide. No longer will you be required to have a Delegation of Services Agreement (DSA). You will own your scope. We will anxiously await word from Governor Newsom. We will know something no later than October 13, 2019.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would eliminate DSAs and minimum mandatory cosigs etc. Heres a summary from AAPA: https://www.aapa.org/news-central/2019/10/california-gains-fifth-key-element-increases-practice-parity/ here's the entire bill: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB697 Edited October 22, 2019 by Joelseff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkstyle Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 @Joelseff Thanks for all your rallying for OTP in CA. Now that it’s passed, does it change our ability to start a private practice or do we still need the practice to be co-owned by a MD/DO with them having least 51% ownership?

Joelseff Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 [mention=74874]Joelseff[/mention] Thanks for all your rallying for OTP in CA. Now that it’s passed, does it change our ability to start a private practice or do we still need the practice to be co-owned by a MD/DO with them having least 51% ownership? Check with CAPA though but it is my understanding that it does not allow us to "hang our own shingle." It won't change corporate laws which govern who can own a practice. It really just removes certain restrictions in what we can do in a practice setting and removes us from being attached to a specific physician in our practice. The DSA is replaced with a practice agreement which is between the PA and the practice not a CP/SP. I want to clarify that this is NOT OTP. It's just some parts of OTP. Hopefully get OTP or more of it I'm the coming years. It does put us in parity with the NP practice regs in California.

MAPA2018 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I'm a little confused about prescribing controlled substances if you haven't had a DEA controlled course w/ the new law. Do we still need pre-approval from SP / chart countersignature within 7 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
